The Supreme Court of America has rejected the demand to ban the abortion pill Mifepristone. According to information, the US Supreme Court has upheld temporary access to the abortion pill, freezing the lower court's decision. In fact, a federal judge in Texas had ordered a nationwide ban on this pill. The legal battle had started only after this decision. At the same time, a Washington judge had said that this pill should be kept available in at least 12 states.
Mifepristone pill has been used for more than half of the abortions in America. On the other hand, according to the order of the Supreme Court, till this matter goes on in the court, this medicine will be available in the markets. Earlier, the Justice Department of President Joe Biden had filed an emergency appeal. In this appeal, there was a demand to stay the decision of the lower court in which the decision was given to ban the use of mifrapistone.
FDA has approved the pill
In this case, an appeals court blocked a ban on the pill but imposed stricter restrictions on access. After this the matter went to the Supreme Court. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of America has approved the availability of this medicine. According to one figure, about 50 lakh people in America use Mifepistone tablets. Earlier on Thursday, the Supreme Court had extended the decision in this matter for two days. The judges were given time till Friday to consider it.
According to the information, many people are also against approving this medicine. Actually these people believe that this pill is not safe and hence it should be banned.
